Keeping tabs on my training

Days 101-120 – More Waves

On day 117 I had another one of those wave sensations experiences while doing qigong. I could feel it running from my hands up past my elbows. It wasn’t as strong as before but it came on almost right away and lasted for the rest of the qigong session as well as for a little bit afterward. It sort of distracts me when it happens because I start to focus on it and my mind begins to wonder what is happening and if it’s going to get more intense or what.

The gravel iron palm bag arrived in the mail a few days ago. It’s a lot heavier and harder than the mung bean one. I slapped it a few times and it’s definitely harder. I’m still looking forward to starting with that one, however. Not until I’m at more than 45 sets per hand with the mung bean bag, though.

There’s a third one that is filled with steel shot. I bet that one is HEAVY and I bet it’s hard. It’s also expensive. I’m told that you can develop a high level of iron palm without going to that one so I will probably just stay at the gravel bag. Of course, this is all just planning at this point. Of course I will keep you updated.
